About this property

Harvey Cottage - a self catering cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

  • Harvey Cottage is a beautifully presented home full of charm and character, set in a sought-after village just 8 miles from the coast. Offering a peaceful setting away from the busier seaside areas, it provides the perfect balance of relaxation and easy access to North Norfolk's stunning beaches.

    The cottage is finished to a very high standard throughout, with welcoming and thoughtfully designed interiors. A spacious living room with a beamed ceiling and cosy wood burner creates a lovely place to unwind, while a separate dining room is ideal for relaxed meals. The fully fitted kitchen comes well equipped for everything you need during your stay.

    Upstairs and downstairs, the layout works perfectly for couples, friends or small families, with two comfortable bedrooms—one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds—alongside a beautifully finished ground floor bathroom and an additional separate shower room.

    Outside, there is generous space to enjoy at both the front and rear of the property, along with the benefit of a gated driveway providing easy and secure parking.

    With the wide sandy beaches of Wells-next-the-Sea just a short drive away, Harvey Cottage is ideally placed for days out by the coast, as well as exploring the surrounding countryside and local attractions. Less than 15 mins from the amenities in Fakenham, Harvey Cottage is also only a 5 min drive from the ever popular winter Thursford Show.

    Whether you're looking for a relaxing break or a base to explore North Norfolk, this charming cottage offers comfort, space, and a truly welcoming feel.

Our stay

We were very fortunate with the weather. This was our second stay at Harvey cottage. We really like the peace and comfort of the cottage. There is a welcome pack of wine and goodies which is a nice touch. It is in a good location for visiting the coast as well as the countryside. Hopefully, we will return a third time next year.

Cosy dog friendly cottage.

We recently stayed at Harveys cottage and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The location was fantastic, and being dog-friendly was a huge plus for us. The cottage had a comfortable and homely atmosphere, making it easy to relax. However, there were a couple of issues that slightly dampened our stay. Despite requesting the bed arrangements prior to our visit, our request wasn't honored. This was a bit disappointing as it affected our comfort during the stay. Additionally, we noticed that cleanliness could have been improved. There were quite a few spider webs around, and it seemed like attention to detail in cleaning could have been better, as some items were simply cleaned around rather than being picked up leaving a lot of dust everywhere. Despite these minor setbacks, we still had a good time at the cottage. With a bit more attention to detail and ensuring requests are met, it could be an even better experience for future guests.

Lovely place to stay

Loved this cottage sad to leave. My only negatives are we found the mattress a bit soft but this is all a personal preference thing and could do with some space to put your own food in the kitchen. Thankyou for sharing a wonderful place

A lot better than it looks.

We booked last min and if I’m honest I wasn’t excited. but as soon as we walked through the door we were blown away. Decorated really well with high quality furniture and nice touches all round. Great location to see the best of the Norfolk coast. We left really pleased with our stay and it’s not often I’d say it but would definitely come back. Highly recommend

Our review

It took us a little while to find the property. What 3 words helped find it. The cottage is lovely. It was well equipped and the welcome pack and information book were appreciated. The appliances were a little difficult to operate, particularly the coffee machine as that had no manual and seemed to leak. Parking was easy as the cottage has it's own parking area off road. Would be happy to return.

My review for Harvy Cottage.

Harvy Cottage is a great location if you want peace and quiet.Easy to get to other places in Norfolk.We had a lovely 3days stay even though the weather was not great.Everything we needed at the cottage.Found the induction hob hard to use.Beds very comfortable and lovely bathrooms.Just one fault with the cottage floors and carpets could do with a good clean.Front door was very stiff to open and close.Look forward to staying there again. Kind regards Fiona Ruhl.

Disappointing

The cottage was well equipped and ideally situated to explore North Norfolk. However, having rented dozens of holiday cottages, we were disappointed with some aspects of the property. The level of cleanliness was poor. There was a messy drip of toothpaste down the cupboard door in the upstairs bathroom and the loo in there smelled of urine. Cobwebs in corners, grubby skirting boards and dust bunnies around the legs of the dining room chairs and I doubt the dining room floor had been mopped in a while. The towels provided were well past their prime - thin and greyed. We won’t be returning.
